I just watched the Eller goal from tonight and I have to mention this. Galchenyuk passes are lazers and they are not only on the tape every time, but it looks like he somehow makes his passes stick to his teammates sticks.

Eller could very well be emerging into a special player. I thought our vets answered the bell better tonight as well. Gionta, Bourque and Moan all deserve a nod and Price looked very confident and sure of. himself back there.
And Galchenyuk, Gallagher and PK are just a joy to watch.

Eller is a warrrior. To come back from that hit from Gryber last year and play his best hockey ever is remarkable. To play another fabulous game tonight after getting the puck in the face shows he’s much tougher and determined than people gave him credit for. He’s going to be gold.

Boring game in my opinion. Very slow. prust still injured or something is up with him, moen is stepping up a bit, bourqe is playing good. Eller, gallys are the future. Plecanec should be traded while he’s worth a bit. This team still needa a lot of work. Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, will roll through this team every time they play unless we get………..some size and better D. Sorry for being a downer but our D sucks and dd is useless.

The reason there are less posts this season during games is because the site has become too slow. I could not even access the page during the last game. HIO needs to get their act together or there won’t be another another million posts.

I have been hard on Therrien but his ice distribution was close to perfect tonight. Not just because we won but because he gave guys ice-time on merit.
Only little quibble is I wish he would show some more confidence in Tinordi and give him some more ice. That is all.

I missed the game because I was coaching my volleyball team to a Gold Medal. Sounds like I missed a good one.

It looks like Price had another solid game. I watched the Lecavalier goal and ranked it on a 1-10 difficulty level like I did last game. 10 being impossible, 1 being my Grandmother could save that.

Lecavalier goal: 9/10

A power play point shot that gets deflected (perhaps twice). The rebound is kicked away to the corner appropriately, however with not enough mustard. The open man is able to gather the puck and shoot it past a sprawling Carey Price. The reason I don’t give it a 10/10 is because he was nearly able to save it, and because the rebound should have been kicked all the way to the corner (even though it’s quite impressive he was able to make such a controlled save off of a deflection in the first place). This was simply a hockey goal. No one really to blame.

We played three games in the morning and it was ugly. Us coaches discussed completely revamping our systems because our players just weren’t getting it.

Then we snuck into playoffs, and started playing with a little emotion. Got some focus and confidence. Started to figure out where they were supposed to go on the court, and we were rolling for the rest of the tournament.

Hard to believe that it’s Plekanec’s ninth season with the Habs already. I remember when he first came into the league and he earned everyone’s respect by being our hardest working center on what was, if I remember correctly, a fairly subpar team. I hope we are all grateful for what he has done for this franchise. Very underrated player.

Lars Eller is our best player. Price was awesome too. Our D is a bit of mess however: Subban and Tinordi make a great 1 and 6 but what’s in between is begging for trouble. Good start for Bournival. DD and Briere need to show they’re relevant.

Wearing my Galliger shirt today..walking in the parking lot of Costco some guy pulls up beside me, rolls down his window and says “I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!..I love that kid, always smiling..
We are winning 3-0 can we just not be happy..is it really necessary to bash Briere for penalty
